The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (NS) is the most successful stand alone Zelda title (not counting remasters/other versions)

It will. It's already the highest on a single platform, and the highest excluding remasters, after just 13 months.

The question is, will this trend keep going. If Zelda is a franchise that is on the rise, the next games should have higher sales than usual.

I think it really depends on what direction they take the next game.

If they take the BOTW template and refine it with additions like themed dungeons and more enemy variety, and don't fuck it up somehow like with a lame gimmick or a chibi art style, I think it will also outsell every pre-BOTW Zelda.
